Through tours, hands-on activities, demonstrations and discussion, we show students how the abundance of natural resources in Malawi can be used to strengthen community health, improve quality of life and to establish sustainable livelihoods.
We believe that it is important to share our knowledge about the ecosystem with young people in a dynamic and interactive way. Educational visits cover a variety of topics relevant to the national primary and secondary school curricula and can be appropriate learning experiences for students of all ages and areas of study- through to the graduate and PhD levels. We have an experienced team who can tailor activities and tours to your needs.

Activities we have organised in the past include:
- Tree planting

We can tailor other activities according to your needs.
